SESSION 1872. (35 AND 36 VICTORIA.) By W. CUNNINGHAM GLEN, Esq., BARRISTER-AT-Law. I. POOR LAW LEGISLATION. The legislation of the session 1872, as affecting Poor Laws, though not of very much importance, is yet of a varied character, and is classed as follows. BORROWING MONEY BY GUARDIANS. The first act is the 35 Vict., c. 2, to extend and explain the law relating to loans for purposes connected with the relief of the poor. It will be remembered that the 14 and 15 Vict., c. 105, sec. 16, enacts that in respect of a school district situated within the metropolitan police district, the limit of expenditure for building and furnishing district schools is enlarged from one-fifth to one-third of the average amount of the aggregate expenditure for the three years next preceding the raising of the money. By section 1 cf the 35 Vict., c. 2, that limit is increased from one-third to two-thirds of such annual average.

The next section illustrates the difficulty, or rather the want of reflection, with which acts of Parliament are framed. By 32 and 33 Vict., c. 45, any sum of money borrowed by guardians may, at the option of the guardians and with the consent of the Poor Law Board be repaid by thirty equal annual payments, with interest on the balance remaining unpaid each year. It was not foreseen that it might be expedient to pay off the loan within a period of less than thirty years; hence, the 3rd section of the 35 Vict., c, 2, which enacts that the C |
